THE COBB Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Uttlesford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four THE COBB sales between March 1999 and October 2020 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the June 2012 sale was for 49% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% above the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it falls to 9% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% above the HPI.

What might THE COBB be worth now?

THE COBB might now be worth an estimated £798,231.

This is based on house price inflation of 10.9%, between October 2020 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Uttlesford local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 10.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE COBB of £720,000 on 22nd October 2020. For the value to have increased from £720,000 to £798,231 over the five years and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE COBB has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Uttlesford local authority area.
• The October 2020 sale price of £720,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE COBB has not materially changed since October 2020.
